Hi everyone! I started collecting pins from 2002 to 2012 at WDW. I took a long hiatus but have started back up in 2024. Had no idea there were fake pins going around and got fleeced at the park/resort pin boards until someone educated me on modern trading. Obviously a lot has changed since I was a kid! I really got into the hidden mickey mystery series lately. Trying to collect the DLR pins as well.

Cheers
 
Welcome to DPF!

The fakes were around starting ~2005ish (from what I have learned), so fakes have been a 'thing' for awhile.

Hidden Mickey/Disney pins are a favorite of mine. Its also where I started with this hobby 12 years ago.

Where do you trade?
 
Hi ya, nice to have you join! Love a good hidden Mickey hunt - do you have a favorite from the upcoming releases set for later in the summer? I’m a big fan of the Disneyland D series and want to stay as complete as humanly possible! 🤣
 
Welcome to the forum! :lgm: You must have some great older pins.
 
Hello, and welcome!

If you are more local to WDW and want to collect DLR Hidden Disneys, two of the best places I can think of are this forum since we have lots of West Coast traders like myself who have easier access to HDs from the parks, and Pin and Pop, where you may have luck trading for DLR HDs during their Trade Arcades.
